I am Seven going on Seventeen, I know that I’m naive

I’m glad Sally is quite independent and knows how to read well. Otherwise I’d be concerned that she has both second and third graders in her classroom, and that her main teacher wears a lapel mic that makes it hard for her to hear the student-teacher when they are divided into their separate curriculums, which is often, because they are, after all, in different grades. Remind me again why I can’t imagine homeschooling? Oh right, because stultifying public school is better than a dead mommy. Right.

Sally said second grade was much harder than she expected because there was a lot of handwriting (not her strong point. Wonder where she gets that?). This morning (her second day), she said that she doesn’t like school because it doesn’t give her enough time to play with Susan and Spot. She just comes home and then Daddy comes home 15 minutes later, and then it’s bedtime. Except it’s 10:34 right now, and I hear her and Susan in their room whispering to each other.

Wordless Wednesday — I know, wasn’t wordless at all, but  . . . well. Hmmm.

totally unrelated, but fun to read
